    Willie Nelson is a national treasure. He has so many amazing songs. He just conveys so much emotion in every performance. He and Ray Charles have a song together called "Seven Spanish Angels" that is one of the greatest songs ever, in my opinion. The live version is by far the best. And "Always On My Mind" is another of my favorites.

    Willie is a real country legend who has been singing & writing songs for over 7 decades. In the 50's he wrote a lot of hit songs for other artists such as "Funny How Time Slips Away", "Hello Walls", "Pretty Paper" & "Crazy". Some of his hit songs are "On the Road Again", "To All The Girls I've Loved Before", "Pancho & Lefty", "Good Hearted Woman", "Remember Me", If You've Got The Money I've Got the Time", "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" etc. Willie was part of the Highwaymen along with Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson & Johnny Cash.

    The song was composed in 1926 by Irving Berlin as a last-minute addition to the Rodgers and Hart musical Betsy. Although the show ran for only 39 performances, "Blue Skies" was an instant success, with audiences on opening night demanding 24 encores of the piece from star Belle Baker.[1] During the final repetition, Ms. Baker forgot her lyrics, prompting Berlin to sing them from his seat in the front row.[

    Willie is about as free a musician and singer as I've ever seen. The beat, melody, rhythm, phrasing...he knows it all so well, he feels completely free to play around, it seems almost to the point of ignoring them, but then it becomes obvious that he always does know. He's just having fun.

    Saw him 20 years ago open air in Hamburg/Germany... It was raining cats and dogs.
    Willie was lookin in the dark-grey sky, with a very skeptical view, grinned and started to sing "Blue skies"! 😀
    "Blue Skies" is one of his most successful Albums! :)

    Willie has written so many great songs including "Crazy" that Patsy Cline made so famous. He'll be 90 years old next month and is still touring and performing. His sister, Bobbie Nelson, was his pianist and toured with him for decades. She passed away a year ago at the age of 91. One of my favorite artists who sings in multiple genres.

    Willie Nelson is so unique. No one does it like him. He forces the pocket when he sings. Now that he is older he strays out of it a bit. You can tell whatever band plays with him has been taught to just follow him. In the era this video clip was made his pushing of the musical pocket was just magic. He goes places and does things with his voice you don't expect. He is also a brilliant song writer. He didn't write Blue Skies, but he does such a great performance of the song. You Were Always On My Mind is one of my favorites. He wrote Crazy and Patsy Cline made it famous. ❤️

    Willie is just amazing. His tone and texture is instantly recognizable and unique. But to me the most amazing thing about Willie is that his timing and phrasing is something no one else can do. If you tried to sing along with Willie you would drive yourself crazy because you just cannot synchronize with him. He can start early and end late and it is perfect. The non-existent supreme being will never make another one like him.

    I have seen Willy several times and in a lot of those times, his sister was part of the band with him, on piano. Seems like she even sang one with him at one of those shows.
    Willie was an excellent jazz guitarist in his early days and I think that influences his playing and especially his singing in country music a whole lot.
    I can't remember who was older, but as early as when they were 4 and 6 years old, Willie and his sister would play together. She would play piano and sing and he would play guitar and sing. At 4 and 6 years old!
    And I have always gotten that impression when I watched him play. It just seems so effortless for him but he puts a lot of emotion and care into what he does, while totally letting his personality show through. He is a real treasure. Not to mention a fantastic songwriter.

    If you want to continue on with Willie, may I suggest "Willie Nelson - 1997 - Funny How Time Slips Away". It's a live version with him sitting around with a bunch of country legends (Kris Kristofferson is sitting right next to him). The instrumental shows a really good look at his picking style.
    Also, you might want to see the other side of him as well. He has two shorter songs you could double up on... "I Gotta Get Drunk" and "Ten With A Two". You'll love them.
    Additionally, the song he opened and closed every concert with is "Wiskey River". The live version is rowdy, fun, and sums him up perfectly.

    "Blue eyes Crying". Try his recorded version. He didn't want to record it at first. Thought it was a little song that wouldn't go far. Boy, was he wrong. He turned it to an iconic song. Turn the lights down and play it. Just beautiful and all Willie.

    His "Stardust" album is amazing, plus he did songs with Waylon Jennings, Chris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash as The Highway Men. He has written tons of songs, timeless and wonderful. He also started Farm Aid to help small farmers. He's a legend.

    Willie is a musical beast. I remember him saying in an interview that the songs are just out there in the air and he just has to pluck them. And he seems so relaxed in front of audience that everyone listening just relaxes and enjoys as he has fun. Serious dues were paid to get to this point. Respect.

    Remember that country has roots in blues, same as R&B. And these songs of Willie were rooted in the beginnings of that transformation. And, well, the weed didn't hurt! LOL

    Willie's guitar, Trigger, has a unique sound. Its probably 60-70 yrs old, has been worn down to a big hole he had repaired eventually. He uses nylon strings (like a Classical) and wears a saxophone strap with it instead of a guitar strap.

    I like the version of "Always on My Mind" on an old British show, where it's just him and his guitar Trigger.
    I think he sings it perfectly on that live performance. And it sounds way better with just his guitar.

    I believe Willie is 89. What you see is what you get. He is so cool. Willie is from a town about 20 miles from me.

    There’s a lot of artists that you like classical artists and stuff like that they study about it music universities you know when you get musical degrees Willie Nelson is one of the very few vocal artist study and musical college. He’s pretty much about what he does. A lot of people don’t realize it but he’s done a lot of really cool face most people know it for hissmoking weed party back today with Waylon, Johnny, Johnny Kash and all the Office Christian just said group buddies

    I wonder what “Trigger” Willie’s guitar would go for in an auction $500 dollar guitar from 1969 . That guitar today by regular Joe would typically sell for between $5,000 and $15,000 but considering the signatures of other singers and hits he has put out on that guitar in 55 years

    I saw Barbara Walters interview Willie one time and she said to him, “They say you’ve smoked a lot of marijuana, is that true?” And in typical Willie fashion he replied, “Only enough to fill a silo or two.” Classic. On this topic, Toby Keith did a song called I’ll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again based on an actual experience on Willie’s bus. You have to check it because it will have you rolling on the floor. Great reaction here, as usual. This performance was from a Jerry Lewis telethon. Jerry was a famous comedic actor from the 50s and 60s who did this tv event annually to raise money for muscular dystrophy research and it raised millions every year. MD patients were often referred to as Jerry’s Kids.

      On the subject of Marijuana, Bill Maher once made a statement while talking to Willie that Marijuana had never hurt anybody. Willie quickly replied: "I don't know, I have a friend who had a bale of it fall on him one time". Heh!

    Toby Keith and Scott Emerick do a duet for Willie Nelson's 70th birthday called "I Will Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again." It's great. Willie Nelson probably rivals Snoop Dog in the weed department.

    I heard a female recording artist describe singing a duet with WN. He has an idiosyncratic style of timing and phrasing... and it's entirely random. She said she would listen to him for a while and try to pick-up what he was doing, but it changed on his whim. She just had to keep up. That is the relaxed, easy style you are hearing.

    You should react to Willie singing with the Beach Boys. Mike Love was trying to tell him how the Beach Boys did that song, Brian Wilson just laughed at the idea of telling Willie how to do something. Willie was humble, said well let me try it and then did it his way one the first try and just left everyone's jaw dropped it was so good.
